Air travel in South Africa is no longer dominated by South African Airways, maybe at one time it was but not anymore. Over the years however three other airlines have emerged offering flights within the country and have leveled the playing field so to speak. This has increased the competition and increased competition is always good for the customers. When the airline are competin for passengers the fares are guaranteed to come down.
So your other options now besides SAA are ‘1 Time, Mango and Kulula Airlines. Comapred to most other means of making a booking, making an online reservation is the cheapest. If you are interested in a lower airfare then make sure you book your tickets over the internet.
Depending on the time of the year and the day of the week the prices of air tickets will always vary. So you will find that traveling during the week days of Monday and Thursday will mean lower or discounted fares. This is because the other times are considered peak periods of travel were most people want to be on the move. So passengers are now the ones competing for seat during these times making the prices higher ..
There is now what is referred to as an e-ticket. Since these e-tickets save the airline lots of money in terms of stationery and printing; so the airline can afford to quote you a lower fare and e-tickets are convenient because they do not get lost.
If you want to compare routes, prices and times you would have to go to each of the relevant airline sites but this could take you time. There are sites that can provide you with information of all available flights in the country at any time. You just fill the relevant details concerning your destination and dates and it will give you a list of available flights during that period.
